Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 15160, July 14 at 0230, RA English no longer has CCI
from Spain, but CCI from China, i.e. CRI Chinese, 500 kW, 59 degrees via
Jinhua, at 01-05 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 9625.0, July 14 at 0230, poor signal in incomprehensible language,
presumably CBCNQ in Inuktitut, badly squeezed between stronger REE 9620 Spain
and much stronger almost // 9630 REE Costa Rica --- at least the latter
finishes DRM circa 0200, which totally wipes out CBC. All three are right on
frequency, per 5-kHz BFO stepping on the DX-398 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake July 14, no full bandscans, just noted:
13970, good at 1259
14700, very good at 1259-1300* plus a few syllables of Chinese starting with
``Bei-jing`` before cutting off, and then uncovering very weak signal,
presumably Sound of Hope, Taiwan
15445, fair at 1202; not checked before 1200
15485, poor with flutter at 1302
15560, fair with flutter at 1302
17450, poor at 1357
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 14950+, July 14 at 0132, Salem Stereo in usual preaching segment
rather than music, very poor but recognizable; and also at 0226, back to music
by 0240. A little better at 0511, music peaking S9+5. Also poorly audible at
1300 citing a vers?culo, back to music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 6010+, July 14 at 0237, religious discussion in Spanish, no music,
poor signal, presumed La Voz de tu Conciencia, in the protracted absence of R.
Mil; but nothing audible on the other HJDH frequency 5910, Marfil Est?reo. 6010
slightly on the hi side; 500 kW, Sirjan, Iran and 5 kW from Belarus are also
registered on 6010 at this time but no sign of them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9810, July 14 at 0233, RHC Spanish is undermodulated and
suffering from heavy DentroCuban Jamming Command bleeding over from adjacent
9805, where it has no need to be at all, since R. Mart? uses 9805 only at
09-13. Commies vs Commies!
9885 also has lighter pulse jamming against nothing, as VOA Spanish is on there
only at 2330-0100 except weekends, and 12-13 daily.
9503 approx., July 14 at 1146, distorted spur in Spanish with hum, hetting 9500
something, soon matched to 9550 RHC, except an echo apart, so it must be the
missing 9540 transmitter, extraviated to this frequency around where IIRC there
have been spurs before.
15340 was way late coming on July 14, still audiblizing HCJB in some Asian
language at 1303 for many more minutes tho 15230 was running; first noticed RHC
had come on 15340 at 1322 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR [and non]. Re my previous query about HCJB: ``I wonder when they
will get that 100 kW transmitter going again inside the country?`` Kai Ludwig
replies:
Never. They had to give up this project, cf.
http://www.andenstimme.org/index.php?id=353
and here is part of that Google-translated, improved by gh:
``Department Newsletter May - June 2012 by Horst Rosiak ---
Dear listeners of Radio HCJB family and friends, Three years ago we had big
plans in Ecuador, we wanted to build our own transmission site! Following the
closure of HCJB transmission site in Pifo the German-language service took over
responsibility for regional frequency 6050 kHz. In February 2010, we had a
large donation from HCJB including a 100 kW transmitter, transmission towers,
antenna cable and everything you need to build a transmitter site. The
condition: Within two years accomplish this project. Despite all the efforts,
we now have to abandon this plan. There was no technical missionary who wanted
to be responsible for leading this project``.
Maybe that anyway encouraged them to assist setting up the 1 kW, 4810
missionary station in Chazuta, Per?, target date August 8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9315, July 14 at 0226, R. Cairo with decent modulation for a change,
as occasionally happens, showing that it`s possible if they would just get
their acts together. YL in English introducing a song; a far cry from the
horrible Arabic-service blob on neighboring 9305, very strong signal,
undermodulated yet extremely distorted, plus hum. Still nothing on 9720,
allegedly about to replace 9315. At 0243, 9315 was starting a new program with
some distortion compared to what preceded it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, July 14 at 1140, VOI with very undermodulated orchestral
music, cut off the air at 1142:30*, but back shortly; 1145 vocal music sounds
like Chinese. At 1217 now the undermodulation sounds like special Japanese. I
listened for a while but could detect no IADs. Those are the languages
scheduled, and as always, slightly on the low side of 9526 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9650 via CANADA, Saturday July 14 at 1249-1252, Kevin
O`Donovan`s ``Listening Tips`` segment following KBS World Radio`s mailbag; he
mentions VR relays via Canada about to end July 31, with the English schedule,
and CVC`s reduced schedule via Chile; something about SiriusXM as I was
distracted. Still no annoying audio artifacts on the feed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. 9325, July 14 at 1151, intriguing rustic Hmongish music, singing
with 2?-string accompaniment, fairly good signal. It`s R. Free Asia in Lao, 100
kW, 285 degrees from SAIPAN at 11-12; North Korea does not start 9325 until
1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX ILSTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Some sunrise MW DX July 14:
680, July 14 at 1117, ``en L-G, la Grande``, i.e. per Cant?
680 XELG La Grande + FM 95.5 Le?n, Gto. 10,000 3,000
So the L-G has a double meaning. Also with IFE PSA, same heard on several other
stations, congratulating themselves on carrying out the elexion, and with an
artificially sped-up disclaimer at the end, something about not representing
any particular party.
770, July 14 from 1120, a weak Spanish station with no QRM unlike all the other
frequencies; 1128, promo for 1,110 Radio Red, i.e. relay of M?xico DF, and by
now there is a weak SAH from something else. As this signal is weakening, a
mention of Grupo Radio Centro, i.e. per Cant?:
700 XEDKR Radio Red AM Guadalajara, Jal. 10,000 150
Site axually Tonala, Jalisco. Standard remark about day vs night power
770, July 14 at 1126, ``Los 40 Principales`` slogan and ID sounded like Radio
Ka (the letter K), with an FM ID I could not copy, but also definite 5:25
timecheck, so the only one fitting is, per Cant?
770 XEREV Los 40 Principales + FM 104.3 Los Mochis, Sin. 5,000 100
Standard remark about day power vs night power
860, July 14 at 1112, ``Radio Frecuencia`` which sounded like a station name
rather than a generic mention, into a balada. But nonesuch listed in Cant?,
IRCA or WRTH. KKOW Kansas no problem yet.
990, July 14 at 1105, XET Monterrey NL, ``La T Grande`` with morning newscast,
temp 24 and pleasant, child electrocuted, as he was wet, barefoot and grounded
when he touched something.
1320, July 14 at 1059, unfamiliar presumably state anthem in progress, 1101
segu? to familiar choral NA, heavy QRM and lost by the time any ID would follow
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTIENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [and non]. 11945, July 14 at 1155 tune-in, IS and English ID as
R. Veritas Asia, the following broadcast at 1200 UTC would be in Hmong on
11935; then 11945 off at 1155:43*. It was way over R. Australia, then
uncovered; this was end of 2-hour Chinese broadcast on 11945, 250 kW due north
from the PUG site. So then I retune to:
11935, July 14 at 1158, CRI fill-music, 1200 theme and IDs in Chinese and
Russian, each twice, once by a man, once by a woman. If RVA Hmong was on there
too, it was only weak CCI under CRI. That is listed as 250 kW, 280 degrees from
Palauig, so the azimuth change made a big difference here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA [non]. Is anyone still hearing the Tamil Tigers clandestine, 12140
at 1530-1630? Since first reported over a week ago, I have been trying for it
almost every day at 1530 with not even a carrier, including today July 14, but
that`s not surprising considering it`s from the opposite worldside during very
poor propagation, blackouts. If it could be propagating to your location, look
around other 12 MHz frequencies in case it changed --- and look out for the SL
jammer too. As earlier reported in DXLD and the yg by David Kernick, schedule
in Tamil shows 2100-2200 local time on 12140, at
http://votradio.com
and also see Voice of the Tigers,
http://pulikalinkural.com
(Glenn Hauser, 1537 UT July 14, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Early answers: David Kernick in England has not been hearing it either July
8-13 but S. Hasegawa in Japan got it today as well as some other days by other
Japanese DXers. Andrea Lawendel says Davide Borroni gets it in Italy, sounds
like a DX signal, and who`s the broker? (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 15725, July 14 at *0503:27, I was waiting for V. of South
Sudan Revolutionary Radio to come on with carrier. At 0504 started sign-on
routine with chanting in Arabish, 0505 ID, drumming and `CW` whistling (not by
mouth but some instrument) --- the rhythm spelt out ``KX``, of some
significance? 0506 Arabic ID ``Huna Idha`at ---``, 0507 English ID with motto.
Peaks only S9+3 tonight.
Would be nice if someone could get a quality recording of this opening. How
about http://www.intervalsignals.net/countries/sudan.htm --- not yet, tho David
Kernick has quite a good collexion of other Sudanese stuff, domestic,
extraterritorial and clandestine clips.
Where is this, anyway? VOSSR has settled on this frequency (only?), which would
seem a bit high for good propagation from north to South Sudan. Just how far is
it from Omdurman to Juba? 1205 km or 749 miles, says Distances-between-cities,
std disclaimer, after it first tried to put Juba in Bolivia! Yes, a bit close
for ideal F-layer skip distance at this frequency, unless sporadic E is often
in play, which could well be the case near the Equator.
Then I tried the latest ITU monitoring report at:
http://www.itu.int/ITU-R/terrestrial/docs/monitoring/files/pdffiles/334.pdf
but on 15725 it only has R. Dabanga at an earlier hour from Sri Lanka (which is
obviously the reason VOSSR chose this same frequency, perhaps trumping
propagational theory, if they know anything about it). The question remains
whether 15725 is really emanating from further than Sudan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 13750, July 14 at 1204, I notice that VOA Spanish is
missing from this frequency, and on 9885 I only hear jamming. But at 1205,
15590 is operational with the usual off-topic ``M?sica Country`` show, and so
is 9885. Left a receiver on 13750 the rest of the hour, and it never came on,
so one of the GB transmitters is down. 15590, however stayed on with open
carrier until 1306:32*
9510, July 14 at 1229, only 50 kW, 285 degrees from the PHX site, VOA is
concluding `American Caf?`, a show new to me, 1230 into `Press Conference USA`,
a very old show. Why is it, searching the entire VOAnews.com website on
``American Caf?`` with or without the acute, I get only one generic hit on that
phrase, not program title. But looking at the list of programs, I do find it:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, following up previous July 13 WTWW report: still in Arabic at
1905, and 1959 past 2000, but at 2002 pause and English ID by Ted Randall with
reverent music, saying ``daily broadcasting the word of God to the entire world
in ten different languages`` and then into French.
I assume that announcement is ``forward-looking`` since we only know of six,
tho seven are on the website schedule; not sure I have ever caught them in
German. Rather, I think I have heard Portuguese in our afternoon, not just in
the Brazilian nightmiddle. WTWW just started the Russian segment, and as noted,
Arabic really runs from 15 to 20, while 12105 is off the air from 05 to 12 UT.
And Central time probably rules, which means the +6 UT conversion below applies
to winter, not summer; they can`t both be correct now:
``Transmitter 3 Scripture readings 12.105 Mhz
New schedule to start shortly:
Central UTC
6 - 9 am Russian 1200 - 1500

** U S A. 13570, July 14 at 1204, WINB is missing tho Vatican/Sackville 13730
is well audible. It was on by 1359. That`s to be expected as the Saturday
schedules shows a start at 1245, unlike 1200 on weekdays with Brother Scare,
and much earlier on Sundays. Program schedule now at
http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm is dated effective July 22! Anticipatory, or
did they mean June 22? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

PIRATE (EUROPE) 6305 R. Powerliner Heard from the 0025 start with just bits of
mx.
Finally some anmnts at 0130. Could hear Polka at 0140. Anmnts at 0142 then more
Polkas. Went off at 0147:17. Said was running 150 watts tonight. (8 July)
PIRATE (EUROPE) 6259.89 R. Whitestar (pres.) A signal here at 0107. Also getting
apparently Tashkent on 6260. This just a little bit stronger but no real audio
on
either. Still there at 0148, and still no audio. (8 July)
CLANDESTINE 15725 V.O. South Sudan Revolutionary R. (pres.) Set the NRD to
record
from 0355 but only went to abt 0440 before the MD ran out. Severe adjacent QRM
though during that time. Found in the clear w/long impassioned tlk by M anncr
0715.
0736 very exotic Afro mx w/feverish vcls and chorus by men. Better signal w/more
tlk in African lang. by M 0736-0751 but definitely not AR. Kept repeating word
sounding like "Jambi"!! Actually quite readable and IDable from 0736-0741 or so,
but then faded. 0751 more of the exotic Afro mx 0751. Went off apparently w/out
any
anmnts at 0754:34. (8 July)
COLOMBIA 14950.76 Salem Estereo 0759:45 caught canned ID promo between songs
again.
Quick heavy QSB. Also getting QRM from that crummy machine gun UTE. Basically
gone
by 0830. (8 July
CLANDESTINE 15725 V.O. South Sudan Revolutionary R. Set the NRD timer/MD to
record
from 0555. Same M w/impassioned preaching-like tlk from the start. Sounded like
EG
at 0603 w/ment of ".the people of the.revolution.you have the right.", and
possibly
weapon, fight, and "the law". 0604 native male chorals, then more tlk by diff.
M in
African lang. but definitely not AR 0604-0620. Pretty decent by 0609. 0620-0623
more choral vcls. Another M 0623. Really faded badly and quickly at 0635.
Nothing
by 0651 and never did come back by 0800. Best reception yet but did have some
annoying lcl noise on the freq. Pgming, and especially the mx sounds a lot like
the
reception videos on Youtube. (9 July)
USA 11565 Fiji Democracy and Freedom Movement R. (via WHRI) 0830 program sign-on
with pleasant local Fijian choral vocals and percussion. 0830-0832 opening EG
anmnt
by M "Good evening listeners. This is FDFM Radio, Na Domo i Viti, Kacivaka na
Dina
broadcasting to you on shortwave frequency 11,565 kiloHertz. The station
belongs to
the Fiji Democracy and Freedom Movement in Australia, a group together with our
Fiji Freedom groups around the world fighting for the restoration of democracy
in
Fiji", then continued opening announcements by same man announcer apparently in
the
Fijian language with another station identification and welcome to the program.
Then tlks in Fijian occasionally mentioning "...Fiji Democracy Freedom Movement
Radio...", mixed with Pleasant island vcl music. Apparent closing at 0858 by
same
man announcer. 0859 Another lively local island song ending the program. 0900
Off
the air. Fair and clear and almost no fading. (9 July)
Current Solar Indicies from WWV

Conditions during the last 24 hours
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred. Solar radiation storms

ANGOLA 4949.75 R. Nacional Angola Audio was finally up to readable lvl. 0101 W
w/nx
in PT. Had 1 report from the field. Crowd cheering at 0104 possibly an intro for
very short sports segment. Canned ID by M 0104:55, then W returned w/another ID
0105:10, and sev. canned anmnts. Into rom. Pop mx at 0108. Too bad the QRN was
high. (10 July)
COLOMBIA 14950.76 Salem Estereo Recorded on the Perseus all night from 0123.
Usual
LA Pops and canned promo anmnts by M after every 2 songs and at ToH. Long tlk
by M
from abt 0725-0738, then couple promos/IDs before going back to nice mx. Really
strong at 0751 but faded very fast right at the ID!! Likes to f/out right at
IDs!!
Had problems when an annoying UTE here in the early evening. Clear later. Seems
best and most consistent here in the 0700-0800 hour. Can be fairly decent one
minute but then f/out completely for as much as hours. (10 July)
RUSSIA 15195 R. Tatarstan No sign of this at 0810+. (10 July)
BRAZIL 15191.76 R. Inconfidencia Really nice at 0123 recording start but trailed
off and gone after about 0430. (10 July)
CLANDESTINE 15725 V.O. South Sudan Revolutionary R. Was hoping to get a good
recording but it was just too weak tonight, 0500+. (10 July)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 6039.98 NBC 0924-1000 national general election coverage with M
and W studio hosts in the EG. Of course voter turn-out numbers and results were
announced. Included were reports from journalists in the studio as well as many
phone reports. Parties mentioned included the People's National Congress Party,
and
People's Democracy Movement. IDs for NBC National Radio, and e-mail
[email protected]. Usual bird call, percussion/wind instru. native mx signature at
ToH, then NBC national nx to 1015. Sev. promos w/phone and e-mail, and ID anmnt.
Deadair 1018-1021, then what sounded like "Wonderful Tonight" by Kenny G. More
tlk
by studio M anncr abt the election. Fair and fading. Nice to hear the NBC again.
(10 July)
INDONESIA 9680.06 RRI Jakarta After not hearing this for at least a week, found
good signal at 1059 w/nice canned ID anmnt just before Japan came on. By 1023,
Japan way over top and Jakarta quite weak. (10 July)
TAIWAN 11570 Suab Xaa Moo Zoo (V.O. Hope) (via Taiwan) Signal already on at
1126.
Pgm start at 1130 w/anmnt by deep-voiced M presumably in Hmong, then instru.
Asian
mx w/flute prominent and possibly some vcls. Weak but clear and never got any
better. Downloaded the pgm from the website and matched it up with what I heard.
(10 July)
BRAZIL 4894.93 Brazil R. Novo Tempo?? Canned anmnts from 0101 t/in. Possible ID
at
0105, then long tlk by deep-voiced M. Ment of Sao Paulo. Rom. ZY songs. Ad block
again at 0131. Not too bad but there was another signal here. This is on
4894.926
while the other signal (Kurseong??) is a closeby 4894.955. Very noisy too. (11
July)
CLANDESTINE 15725 V.O. South Sudan Revolutionary R. Again, set the NRD timer/MD
recorder on this. Was shocked to find a good signal. And since I'd set the AGC
off
trying to suck up every microvolt of signal, the recording ended up being
distorted
unfortunately. Signal on the air a little late at 0503:58, then pgm start 15
seconds later w/native chorals and drums mixed w/short anmnts by M. AR ID at
0506,
0507, and EG ID at 0507:30 "This is the Voice of South Sudan Revolutionary R.
The
voice of South Sudan Revolutionary Radio stands for freedom, justice, equality,
and
human rights". Tlks began then at 0611 in lcl dialect. 0541 finally back to
native
choral mx bridge. Then M w/another EG ID at 0542 and political commentary in
EG!!
"(ID) ?? radio is today ?? Sudan. The program today is broadcast a lot of items
and
the kind of situations, political situations in southern Sudan as well as
communist(?) situation in southern Sudan. The first item of the program today is
about the pain and suffering to ?? in southern Sudan. First we have achieved our
independence last July.". Started fading at 0547 and barely there by 0600.
Completely gone at 0605 and still hadn't returned by 0715. But for the first 45
minutes, it was good. Glad to finally get the EG ID on this. Haven't noted it on
any of the other sked xmsns. (11 July)
PERU 6134.83 R. Santa Cruz Incredible signal with end of LA Pop song, then
canned
promo ending w/ID at 0021, then back to mx. Another nice promo ID by M and W,
then
another w/FM freq at 0033. 0035 nice "Santa Cruz" singing jingle, then another
"Santa Cruz en la noche" promo ID. A solid 10 over!! Best using the Eton E1 in
AM
Sync USB to avoid the UTE here. (12 July)
ZAMBIA 6165 Zambia Nat. BC A nice surprise; caught a canned EG ID promo by W at
t/in at 0513. Followed by another anmnt, brief instru. Afro mx, then another EG
ID
at 0516 and what sounded like national nx in EG by W. Fair and fady with a
little
slop QRM. (12 July)
UNID. 9674.77 UNID. Getting a carrier here at 0521. Both still on the air after
0600. QRM from 9675. Cancao Nova?? (12 July)
FINLAND 6170 No sign of R. Hami here after 0500. Finland is already in daylight.
(12 July)
EQUATORIAL GUINEA 15190 R. Africa Decent OC from as early as 0520. Still OC at
0537. Came back a min. later and it was in EG rel. pgm w/hard-sell preaching. So
prob. no ID. Audio was breaking up at times and unuseable. (12 July)
CANADA 6160.868 CKZN End of "The Current" at 0547 w/CBC ID, then "The Sound-Off"
segment. Stronger than 6160 CKZU and slopping over. Filler mx 0559, promo for
"Metamorphosis" pgm. Into CBC nx by W. I see it was reported on this freq back
in
2009 too. Looking at a Perseus recording from 25 June showed this was on freq
then.
So must have jumped up here in the last 2 and a half weeks. (12 July)
CANADA 6159.991 CKZU 0549 pgm w/tlk about robots. Was hoping to get a lcl ID at
0600 but too much slop QRM from St. Johns. CBC promo ending at 0605 w/ID. Pgm
promo
at 0606. (12 July
NIGERIA 15120 V.O. Nigeria Nice full EG ID by W w/e-mail addr, etc. at 0557.
Came
back at 0610 and W w/EG African nx, then world nx at 0613. Power kept dropping
down
just after t/in. Nice ID at 0616. Financial nx. 0621 sports. 0626 another ID by
W,
then nx headlines. 0627 ID and website URL. 0628 diff. W w/TC and ID and pgm
preview. 0629 "You're listening to the Voice of Nigeria in Lagos". M and W
w/national promo "Nigeria, great people, great nation", then family planning PSA
w/discussion between W and girl. 0631 nice ID by studio W again and into Reggae
mx.
Voice audio just a tad low. Still has a bit of a hum as well. Faded pretty badly
around 0625, but then picked back up. (12 July)
TAIWAN 11570 Suab Xaa Moo Zoo Just caught the end of the opening anmnt by M at
1131. Sounded like there was a fair amount of EG in the bdcst today. (12 July)
RUSSIA 15245 V.O. Asena (pres.) (via Samara Russia) Heavy percussion from
1704-1708, then M anncr, and back to the drums at 1712. Hrd the drums again at
1725
but had faded. Too weak and very fady along w/lcl QRN. Modulation seems too low
also. First time to hear anything on this. (13 July)
RUSSIA?? 15195 UNID. Signal came on here at 0745:17. Went off at 0901:22. Never
even strong enough for audio. I guess it would have been Tatarstan. (14 July)
TAIWAN 11570 Suab Xaa Moo Zoo Carrier came on at 1119:05. Pgm start at 1130
w/instru. mx and opening anmnt by M w/ment of freq in kHz. Immediately into
pleasant SE Asian mx, then into preaching by M w/audience and apparent
translation
in pres. Hmong by another M. Finally went into a rel. song at 1155-1159, and
closing anmnts by deep-voiced M at 1159. I guess this was their "Evangelism
Explosion" pgm per their website. Went immediately into WYFR relay at 1200. (14
July)
NIGERIA 15120 V.O. Nigeria Found here by accident at 1530. "Africa Hour" pgm.
Tlk
on human rights violations. 1558 W w/e-mail, and mailing addr. Pgm anmnt, and
sked
for Sunday, drum IS briefly, then off the air. Surprised to find this here. Fair
and very fady. Was also getting some QRM from some sort of UTE xmsn, similar to
the
machine gun, varying around 15180-15200. (14 July)
MADAGASCAR?? 12115 Zimbabwe Commnity R.??? Just a weak signal here at 1600 amid
slop QRM from 12105 WTWW. First time I ever got any kind of a signal here. (14
July)
ZANZIBAR 11735 Spice FM via R. Tanzania Zanzibar 2055-2059 AR mx, then Spice FM
promos to ToH, and into lively Afro Pop mx w/M voice-over at 2104 w/ments of
Spice,
Zanzibar, Tanzania, and radio. Really nice signal. Had some lcl QRN at the
beginning. (14 July)
